The late American artist Ben Shahn combined symbols of Judaism — the lion, the Ten Command¬ ments, and the blowing of the shofar — in a 1955 painting called "Third Allegory," an appropriate illus¬ tration for the Jewish New Year, Bosh Hashanah. For it is on Rosh Hashanah, regarded as the first day of creation, when, according to Jewish tradition, God remembers all His creatures and passes judgment on 'all human beings. And, as a symbol of God's'summons to the people for self-judgment, self-improvement and atonement, the shofar, or ram's horn, is blown. Rosh Hashanah, ih addition Jo being the first day of the Hebrew calendar, also marks the beginning of the-Teh Days of Penitence which end with the most solemn of Jewish feasts, Yom Kippur.
This painting is currently in the collection of the Vatican's Museum of Contemporary Art and is repro¬ duced courtesy of Kennedy Galleries, New York. ■

ovisions Of Tax
By Joseph Polakoff
WASHINGTON, (JTA) — The House Sept. 16 over¬ whelmingly adopted, with¬ out opposition, the anti- boycott provisions of the Tax Reform Act aimed at American firms complying with the Arab boycott of Israel.
The only .discussion re¬ lated to a minor technical point dealing with the effec¬ tive date of the provisions. The entire bill was sent to ' the Senatefor its approval. - The anti-boycOtt pro¬ visions were contained in the Senate-House conference report on the omnibus tax legislation - which was adopted* by a 383-26-vote in the House and had the ap¬ proval of the leadership of both major parties.' ,
The anti-boycott
provisions, authored by Sen. Abraham; Ribicoff (D. Conn.) would deny federal tax benefits to American companies that comply with the boycott directed against " Israel and against American firms that are Jewish-owned Or administered. These benefits include deferral of taxes and certain tax credits allowed companies engaged \inforeigntrade. • It was pointed out that the provisions ' are not- as sweeping as opponents of the bill contend they are/ They, affect only that part of the business in which a company engages in the boycott re¬ lationship.
It was noted that a corpo¬ ration as a whole may-not be affected if a subsidiary is engaged in boycott com¬ pliance. Only the subsidiary would be affected. ■
Proponents ' expect sweeping approval of the measure by the Senate and, despite White House opposi¬ tion, the President is ex¬ pected: to sign it into law. Earlier, some Admini¬ stration sources had indi¬ cated the bill might be ' vetoed.
. The House is also expected to take action on the Export Administration Act which contains other measures to combat the Arab boycott. These include .mandatory public disclosure by American corporations as to whether they are complying with the boycott demands and requires that American companies refuse to abide by demands not to trade with Israel.
Another provision allows American companies to take court action for damages against other American firms found to discriminate
against them because of the Arabboycott. '
Opponents' of the anti- boycott legislative measures are focussing now on the House Ways and Means' Committee's, provisions that are stiffer than those in the Senate versidn of the Export Administration Act,
The Senate version does not include the' right of private law suits or the ban against an American company's compliance with Arab demands not to trade with Israel. Those provisions have beep opposed by the Exxon, Mobil and, other pil .companies, by organizations representing overseas con¬ tractors and by "the- Administration.

Simon Says He Has Misgivings
NEW YORK (WNS) — Despite his opposition to using tax policy to oppose the Arab boycott, Treasury " .Secretary William Simon said he would advise Presi¬ dent Ford to sign the proposed new federal reform tax legislation which has a provision imposing tax penalties on American countries that abide by boycott requirements:
Interviewed on New York Radio Station WEVD,. Simon declared that "a just and lasting peace in. the Middle East" is the means for "meeting this boycott •* problem." Simon claimed that "we've made great in- . roads in this boycott in this past year, and now we are* • in the process of reversing and exacerbating the ten¬ sions by all of the demagoguery that has gone on with thedebate."
He said the boycott situation will be made worse "by passing legislation like this." Simon declared that "this whole boycott issue and the threat of legislation , has cost the United States unnecessarily mllions.of dol¬ lars of business with" the Arab countries that/Would have come to our American businessmen, including the Jewish community businessmen." - ;'~

Philip M. Klutznick, a for¬ mer member of the U.S. delegation to the United Na¬ tions with the rank of Am¬ bassador and currently board chairman of the World, Jewish Congress, believes that the closing down of the United Nations would be a first step toward World War HI.
In an exclusive Chronicle interview, Klutznick re¬ ferred to what happened when the League of Nations failed. "That was the first step towards World War II/' he noted.
""If-I were to be asked, do I choose between having a United Nations system, which includes all of the spe¬ cialized agencies as well as the United Nations itself,.., I chouse that as against nothing," Klutznick said. He said he would choose the U.N. as it is today in spite of its weakness. Klutznick pointed out' that unfortu¬ nately the hopes for the U.N. were greater than the real¬ ization.
Klutznick feels the alter¬ native is to strengthen the United States' fight within the United Nations ... "To improve our representation ... and to try to build b«ck a sensible majority from the low level from which we have fallen these days.
"If we give it up, we must be prepared for horrible con¬ sequences and we must be prepared for one of the worst diplomatic defeats" in the his¬
tory of our land;'' he said. •
Klutznick, a leading per¬ sonality in world Jewry, was in Columbus to deliver the keynote address at the Columbus Jewish Federa¬ tion's 50th Anniversary meeting. His accomplish¬ ments include having served in various capacities under 6 U.S. Presidents. The United,Nations has
